So upset my surgery date keeps changing first Oct 18 then switched to nov 16 because of the coordinator rescheduled my psych evaluation then called and switched back to Oct 18 because the office magically got more appointments..

started my liquid diet oct 4

Now I get a call saying they haven't heard back from my insurance yet so they are rescheduling too OCT 26

So pissed what am I supposed to do now stay on liquid diet or start over in another week???

I don't wanna waste more shakes n have to buy more

Had my heart set on the 18..

I could cry I'm so hurt they keep doing this.

@@thesstrt

man oh man!!

office changing your surgery back and forth

they have their nerve!! :wacko:

i would be going cray (hubby just said "that's a short trip" LOL )

(we are two peas in a pod!)LOL

well, for now, at least the final change is just one week later than

the earlier postponement!! LOL

look at it this way - surgery 10/26 - NOT November

still disappointed - but you should be ok

if they change their mind again

punch them!! LOL

as far as pre-op Protein shakes

continue or not for one week??

if you can survive another week

with just liquids - that will help

your weight loss (honeymoon period)

liquids only are pretty hard for many

decision up to you

you could ask doc, he might say it's

up to you (cowards way out!)

good luck

speedy recovery

@@thesstrt I would call insurance to find out the status and call your surgeon's office back and tell them that you would like to keep it on 10/18/16. That's not fair to keep changing it on you - it's not as though you're going in to get your hair colored.

In the grande scheme of things, you hit a road bump. These things don't always go so smoothly, like us. But soon it will be history. Good luck.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
